Beseme AB Wo’Weld woMenfes Qidus, Ahadu Amlak, Amen – In The Name of The Holy Father, The Holy Son, The Holy Spirit, One God. Amen.
It is mandatory for all faithful to pray seven times a day and at the following hours:
1. Upon rising from bed in the morning and before eating or commencing any task. Wash your hands and pray standing.
We glorify God for bringing us from darkness (night) to light (day). Adam was created.
2. At the third hour (9:00 AM) It is the Hour Eve was created. Daniel, the prophet prayed to God; the incarnation of Christ was announced by the
Angel Gabriel; The Lord was chastised in the presence of Pilot; and the Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost.
3. At the sixth hour (Noon) Satan is very active in deceiving people. Enoch offered prayer to God in the sanctuary
at Noon Christ was crucified at the 6th Hour.
4. At the ninth hour (3:00 PM) The Angels transmit our prayers and offerings to God. Our Lord gave His life on the Cross at the Ninth Hour
for our salvation
5. In the evening (6 PM) everyone receives payment for their labour; evening is a symbol of the Second Advent when
everyone shall be judged according to his work. Christ was buried at this hour.
6. In the evening (9 PM) before going to sleep, a prayer of thanksgiving is said because God has caused us to complete
the working hours of the day, also God himself prayed at this hour.
7. The Midnight prayer is most important because it was at this Hour that Christ was born, baptized and rose from the dead and will come again to judge the living and the dead. The hands should be washed with water before morning and midnight prayers.
( The washing of hands is a symbol of purification ). Kyrie ~ Eleison is said 41 times at the end of prayers. (My Lord have Mercy)
or you can say : Ig-zee-‘o tesahalene 41 ( “Lord have mercy upon us” )
DAILY PRAYERS – (while crossing yourself and prostrating 3 times, say…)
1. I cross my face and all over my body with the sign of the cross.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, One God.
+ Lord pity us, Lord spare us, Lord have Mercy on us, Amen.
+ Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son and the Holy Spirit now and for eve and ever world without end, Amen.
I believe and offer my supplications unto the Holy trinity.
I denounce Satan in the sight of the Holy Mother Orthodox Church. And in the presence of the Virgin Maryam
whom is Zion for ever and ever. Amen
